Devlogs & Projects / SpriteMate - Pixel Art Editor - Commerical Project
« on: November 08, 2017, 06:38:59 pm »
Hello guys,
hope you don't mind me signing up to anounce my just-released commercial project SpriteMate, since it is so greatly related to the topics of this forum.
http://www.brightwise.de/spritemate/
It's basically a 2D-pixel editor specifically created for low-res animated retro-style pixel-art.
As you can clearly see from those animations, I'm not an artist, not even a graphics guy, just the SW-architect/designer/programmer of this with some passion for those old computer games I grew up on.
I always wanted to release a software project commercially and put a significant amount of time in this (side-project over ~3 years). Since recently, SpriteMate is available for free download for evaluation and can be bought/registered worldwide except for the US. SpriteMate comes freely as nag-ware, which means that it's full-featured , but you are regularly disturbed in your work process unless you register for €5.
Of course, the software is still under maintenance and I am open to development of further features or other changes where meaningful. I greatly appreciate your feedback on my program in this thread. What are the sticky points for real artists working with this? Any comment is appreciated. Would love to see animation/drawing projects based on SpriteMate. Maybe you want to give it a try on your Windows Computer with the .NET framework installed.
Cheers
Marc
